There's no automated submission process like maven/jcenter. Just use the Contact option and submit details of your library.

I'd also recommend submitting to Android Weekly which features new libraries. Just submit your repo link at the bottom of the page here

I've submitted libraries to both via these methods and they do get picked up.
